Moving files to root of phone using astro manager?

I downloaded the manual froyo update from 'http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/31/manual-update-droid-incredible-to-android-2-2/" but it says you need to move the downloaded file from sd card to root of phone. I have no clue what I am doing, and I'm pretty sure I cant do it via computer, because I have a mac. So I was wondering if it was possible to move the download to root of phone using astro file manage or whatever its called. Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

I have a Droid and a Mac. I am able to connect/mount my Droid to my Mac and view my SD card. I am able to move, copy, delete, or rename any file.

I'm not sure if the Incredible limits you but try. When connected a white drive will appear on your Mac's screen. Double click and you should be able to view your SD card. When you are finished do a right mouse click and unmount.

To move the update.zip to the root of your SD card, do the following:
- Open Astro File Manager
- Enter the Downloads folder
- Press and hold on the update.zip file
- Select "Edit" and then "Copy"
- Now press the "Astro Up" button once which will take the root directory
- Press the "Astro Edit" button followed by "Paste"
The update.zip file should now be in the root directory.

On your SD card you will see several files with yellow folders. You do NOT want to put the new file in one of those. The easiest way drag the file from your desktop to the icon on your desktop that represents your phone the computer is smart enough to put the new file on the root and not in a folder.

Theres nothing on my desktop that resembles my phone, theres only 2 white ipod looking things that pop up when I connect. One's named no name, and it has like album thumbs, DCIM, download, htc sync, etc on it. The other's named Blackberry 2, and it has all my stuff from my sd card on it. Which one do I put it in? Sooooo confusing!
